Graduation Rate: 92.7% State Standard: 75.3% Met Standard?: Yes
Analysis Paragraph:
After researching the accountability within Cranston, it seems that students of all different races, such as African American, Asian, White, and Hispanic, are relatively proficient in both mathematics and the English language. All races/ethnicities met the standard in elementary math and the English language; the only two demographics that missed the target were students with disabilities and and the English language learners. Every race in middle school met both the standards for math and the English language. Again, students with disabilities didn't hit the target, but in this case only in regards to the English language.
There seemed to be a bit more discrepancy with meeting the standards in high school, especially in math. The only groups that met both standards completely included the Asian and Caucasian students (71.8 in math and 83.3 in English for Asian students and 73.8 in math and 86.7 in English for Caucasian students), as well as the total student average. African Americans, Hispanic, Students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged succeeded in the English language (84.9, 79.5, 70.8, 78.9 respectively in relation to the 54.0 standard), but did not meet the state target in mathematics (61.3, 59.6, 50.7, 61.0 respectively). This displays the fact that the proficiency levels seemed to decrease in high school. This could possibly be due to the increased level of difficulty of classes or students inability to put enough effort into their school work to succeed.
Additionally, the graduation was respectable, as only 7.3% didn't graduate while 92.7% did. The graduation rates exceeded the state standard (75.3%) by 17.4% (92.7%-75.3%). Therefore, the region of Cranston seem to be very academically focused; a diverse and thriving community, accountable for a large portion of Rhode Island's success rate.
